So Dhaka have now suffered consecutive hiccups, opening the table even further and bringing the other teams into the picture too. A wonderful day of cricket today, with two very exciting finishes. Hoping tomorrow to be the same. Until then, it's goodbye!

Gayle: Good to be among the runs again. We were looking to get more than 140. New ball came on to the bat nicely. But when you lose crucial wickets at crucial times, it's difficult. Credit to the bowlers for defending the target.

Chris Gayle is Man of the Match

21:59 Local Time, 15:59 GMT, 21:29 IST: Wow, what a finish! Dhaka have somehow managed to botch their run-chase spectacularly. No question they should have got home, and should have done so comfortably. However, first, Afridi allowed Rangpur an opening when he threw his wicket away with an ugly slog. That wicket stalled their momentum appreciably. And then in the last over, with 10 required, it appeared as if Pollard would go on to finish it off after he hit a giant six off the third ball. But now in hindsight, his decision to refuse three possible singles is what came back to bite him as Perera produced two sensational yorkers off the final two balls to help Rangpur pull off a heist.

19.6

Perera to Abu Hider, out Bowled!! Back-to-back yorkers to seal the game. Perera, you ripper! Rangpur Riders have come back from nowhere to clinch this nail-biter by 3 runs. Hider, expecting the yorker, moved across to paddle it away, but he made no contact and that was it. Abu Hider b Perera 0(1)

Perera to Abu Hider, THAT'S OUT!! Bowled!!

Abu Hider Rony, right handed bat, comes to the crease

19.5

Perera to Pollard, out Bowled!! Perera nails the yorker, and nails the leg-stump with it. Pollard backed himself to do the job, but now that he's gone, it's left the No. 11 batsman with 4 to get off one ball. It all comes down to decisions. Pollard made the choice of staying put at the striker's end. He may well regret it now. But how was that for a yorker from Perera. Under pressure, he delivers a beauty. Pollard b Perera 12(14) [6s-1]

Perera to Pollard, THAT'S OUT!! Bowled!!

19.4

Perera to Pollard, no run, oh well. He's hit the full toss along the ground to deep mid-wicket this time, and has denied the single again

Some issues with the ball it seems after that strike. Wouldn't be surprised if its core has moved by six inches

19.3

Perera to Pollard, SIX, oh yes. This is a batsman having complete faith in his abilities to pull it off. As soon as Perera errs with the length, he disappears. A full toss for Pollard to feast on and he smokes it over the mid-wicket boundary

19.2

Perera to Pollard, no run, turns down the single again as he drills the ball to long-on. He's backing himself, Pollard. Time will tell if this is a wise move

19.1

Perera to Pollard, no run, what a yorker from Perera, Pollard squeezes it down to fine leg, refuses the single

Thisara Perera [3.0-0-31-0] is back into the attack

Mohammad Amir, left handed bat, comes to the crease

It's down to 10 from the final over. Pollard on strike, which is the main thing.

18.6

Malinga to Nadif, out Caught by Bopara!! This has been miscued off the toe-end, and the catch is taken at mid-wicket. What an over from Lasith Malinga, stepping up to the situation. It's another low full toss, which is difficult to hit. Nadif goes for it, but gets it right at the bottom. Oh Malinga. His magic is still there. Nadif c Bopara b Malinga 2(6)

Malinga to Nadif, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

18.5

Malinga to Nadif, no run, slingy low full toss at the stumps, Nadif pushes it back down the pitch where Malinga stretches his right leg out and gets a boot to it. Brilliant

18.4

Malinga to Pollard, 1 run, excellent yorker at the stumps, more like it. Pollard can only jam it to long-on

18.4

Malinga to Pollard, wide, oh this is just unbelievable. 6th wide for Malinga. This low full toss goes tailing down leg

18.3

Malinga to Nadif, 1 run, doesn't quite get hold of the shot as he tries to tonk it down the ground, but gets a single to long-on

18.2

17.6

Rubel to Nadif, 1 run, full ball on off, tapped wide of mid-wicket

17.6

Rubel to Nadif, wide, wide down the leg-side. Just imagine how this game could have shaped if Rangpur hadn't been so erratic with their extras

Nadif Chowdhury, right handed bat, comes to the crease

17.5

Rubel to Mehedi Maruf, out Lbw!! The pressure of those three dots gets to Maruf as he aims for an ambitious slog and is caught plumb in front. Rubel kept it full and straight, and smashed the back pad in front of off and middle. Mehedi Maruf lbw b Rubel 15(24) [4s-1]

Rubel to Mehedi Maruf, THAT'S OUT!! Lbw!!

14.3

Rubel to Afridi, out Bowled!! Another ugly swing, and this time the ball takes out leg-stump. Really ungainly from Afridi, completely defying the situation of this game.

Lasith Malinga [1.0-0-5-0] is back into the attack

Time-out!

12.6

Perera to Afridi, no run, loopy slower bouncer, Afridi ducks under it

12.5

Rubel to Mosaddek Hossain, out Mosaddek Hossain Run Out!! Both batsmen have charged towards the same end, and the only decision to make here is which of them is out. It's Mosaddek who has been asked to leave. He tapped a short of length delivery towards cover, and was lured into the single by his partner who took a couple of steps towards him. But then he sold him down the river by bailing out. Mosaddek Hossain run out (Gayle) 2(6)

Rubel to Mosaddek Hossain, THAT'S OUT!! Run Out!!

Mehedi Maruf, right handed bat, comes to the crease

9.5

8.2

Gazi to Lewis, out Lbw!! Drifts it into off and middle, Lewis plays all across it. Plumb in front. Would have crashed into middle. Lewis lbw b Gazi 28(25) [6s-3]

Mortaza to Narine, out Caught by Mithun!! Mortaza strikes early. Back of a length delivery just outside off, Narine pokes at it and gets a faint edge to the keeper. Narine c Mithun b Mortaza 0(1)

Live again

19:34 Local Time, 13:34 GMT, 19:04 IST: Fifer for Shakib and he single handedly choked the Rangpur innings. Rangpur started well courtesy a fiery innings from Gayle. They lost the plot in the middle but Bopara held one end. However, just when Rangpur would have thought that he will get them over 150, he was run out after a miscommunication in the middle. Dhaka have comeback well here. Should be a fun chase, stay tuned...

19.5

Shakib to Rubel, out Caught by Jahurul Islam!! He has been given caught behind. If not, he was anyway stumped on this occasion. Rubel stepped down to go over the off-side, missed it completely. In fact, there was a faint edge on it. Rubel c Jahurul Islam b Shakib 0(1)

Shakib to Rubel, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

Rubel Hossain, right handed bat, comes to the crease

19.4

Shakib to Ziaur, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

Lasith Malinga, right handed bat, comes to the crease

19.1

Shakib to Bopara, out Bopara Run Out!! 1 run completed. Throws it wide of off and Bopara cracks it wide of long-off. Wants two and runs blindly, Ziaur was not interested and despite a fumble at the bowler's end, Bopara had no chance to come back. Bopara run out (Mosaddek Hossain/Shakib) 12(16)

Amir to Ziaur, no run, very full ball outside off, slanted across Ziaur. Fails to squeeze away

18.1

16.5

Amir to Ziaur, no run

Ziaur Rahman, right handed bat, comes to the crease

16.4

Amir to Perera, out Caught by Abu Hider!! Perera makes room to go into the on-side, is followed by a short ball that is quick, goes with the shot anyway and gets a leading edge for an easy catch to cover. Perera c Abu Hider b Amir 15(9) [4s-1 6s-1]

Afridi to Bopara, no run, fuller on middle and leg. Bopara defends from the crease

14.1

Afridi to Perera, 1 run, on the pads, turned through mid-wicket

Thisara Perera, left handed bat, comes to the crease

13.6

Shakib to Mithun, out Caught by Mosaddek Hossain!! Second wicket of the over! The Riders are losing the plot completely here. Imploding like a pack of cards. Mithun goes for the release shot, a slog sweep but skews it towards deep mid-wicket where Mosaddek makes no mistake. The pressure was telling on the Riders' captain and he succumbed to it. A partnership badly needed for the batting side. Mithun c Mosaddek Hossain b Shakib 22(26) [4s-1]

Shakib to Mithun, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

13.5

Shakib to Mithun, no run, flatter around leg stump, Mithun goes for the sweep but is struck on the pads. Jahurul Islam does well to get to his left and prevent the single

13.4

Shakib to Mithun, no run, darted in around off, stands tall and punches but cannot beat extra cover

13.3

Shakib to Bopara, 1 run, drifting in around middle and leg, clipped to backward square leg for a run

13.1

Shakib Al Hasan [2.0-0-11-1] is back into the attack

Ravi Bopara, right handed bat, comes to the crease

12.6

Afridi to Mortaza, out Caught by Narine!! Afridi has his revenge! Flatter and on a good length, depriving Mortaza of that slogging length but he wants to go big anyway. Top-edges it high towards backward square leg where Narine takes the simplest of catches. The spinners are doing it for the Dynamites here. Slowing things down considerably. Mortaza c Narine b Afridi 15(11) [4s-1 6s-1]

Afridi to Mortaza, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

12.5

Afridi to Mithun, 1 run, slightly slower through the air this time, Mithun uses his feet to drive but can only get a single at long-off

12.4

Afridi to Mortaza, 1 run, another quicker ball on a good length, muscled down to long-off

Afridi to Mortaza, 1 run, in the air...safe! Tries to repeat the previous stroke but Mortaza doesn't get the distance on the stroke. Well short of long-on

12.1

Afridi to Mortaza, SIX, sheer power from Mortaza! He has promoted himself exactly for his purpose. Stays back and finds the lengthg shortened, flatter trajectory and it's been dumped over deep mid-wicket

Shahid Afridi [2.0-0-20-1] is back into the attack

11.6

Abu Hider to Mithun, no run, almost a mess! Mithun wanted the run, Mortaza didn't and it would have been curtains for the former if there was a direct hit at the striker's end. A fuller ball that's nudged towards the leg-side, Mithun was in two minds before going back

Shakib to Mortaza, 1 run, fired in around middle, Mortaza dabs it to cover-point to get off the mark

Interesting to see how Mortaza will approach this. Logic says to buckle down just a bit but that's not his game at all

10.2

Shakib to Mithun, 1 run, fuller and outside off, driven down to long-off for a run

Mashrafe Mortaza, right handed bat, comes to the crease

10.1

Shakib to Nafees, out Caught by Amir!! Another one bites the dust! The Dynamites are clawing their way back in style. This was bowled slower around off, Nafees wanted to slog-sweep and struck it fairly well. However, the placement was wrong as he found Amir at deep mid-wicket to perfection. First wicket of the night for the captain. Nafees c Amir b Shakib 9(9) [4s-1]

Shakib to Nafees, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

Halfway mark. Rebuilding time now for the Riders but they cannot afford to take too much time. Looks a good batting deck although the slower bowlers are being effective. The Dynamites are determined to take pace off the ball

Pollard to Mithun, 1 run, fuller ball and around middle, tucked to deep square leg for a run

9.4

Pollard to Mithun, 2 runs, dropped! Was a tough one but after doing all the hard work, you would have expected Mosaddek to take it. Fuller and slower, Mithun steps down the pitch to loft it down the ground over long-on. Miscues it squarer as Mosaddek from deep mid-wicket charges to attack the ball, it doesn't stick. A brace taken

9.3

Pollard to Nafees, 1 run, shorter length on the pads and no pace to work with, nudged to short fine leg

9.2

Pollard to Nafees, no run, full and outside off, leans forward and taps it to cover

9.1

Pollard to Mithun, 1 run, quick single taken! Fuller ball and Mithun taps it towards short cover. Pollard tries to get it in his followthrough but cannot prevent the run

Kieron Pollard, right-arm fast medium, comes into the attack

Time-out! Evenly poised at this stage. Gayle's blitzkrieg took the Riders off to a flier but his dismissal has restored parity I guess. Looks a belter of a deck

8.6

Shakib to Mithun, 1 run, very full and outside off, Mithun drills it down to long-off

8.5

Shakib to Mithun, no run, looped up around off, gets forward and defends gently to cover

8.4

Shakib to Nafees, 1 run, slightly shorter this time, Nafees sits back and cuts it to sweeper cover

8.3

Shakib to Nafees, FOUR, terrific placement! Floated fuller outside off, Nafees times the drive beautifully and what's better, gets it well to the right of the long-off fielder who had no chance

8.2

Shakib to Mithun, 1 run, floated up around middle and leg, clipped to deep mid-wicket for a run

8.1

Shakib to Mithun, no run, Mithun tries to use his feet but this is quite full, squeezed to extra cover

Shakib Al Hasan, left-arm orthodox, comes into the attack

The skipper comes on to bowl now

7.6

Mosaddek Hossain to Mithun, 1 run, fuller and on the pads, Mithun nudges it to the left of the square leg fielder

7.5

Mosaddek Hossain to Nafees, 1 run, fuller and outside off, drilled down the ground to long-off

7.4

Mosaddek Hossain to Nafees, no run, flatter and outside off, Nafees makes room and slaps it to cover, cannot find the gap

7.3

Mosaddek Hossain to Mithun, 1 run, flatter and shorter outside off, guided it towards third man for a single

7.2

Mosaddek Hossain to Nafees, 1 run, straighter in line and it's worked away behind square on the leg-side

Shahriar Nafees, left handed bat, comes to the crease

7.1

Mosaddek Hossain to Gayle, out Caught by Abu Hider!! The plan's worked! BIG wicket! Not the first time an off-spinner has got Gayle and I must say that this was a smart move from skipper Shakib. Respite for the Riders, they needed this badly. Coming to the ball, it was a drag-down from Hossain but no real pace on it. Gayle mistimed the lofted pull, straight to Hider at deep mid-wicket. He is the same man who spilled a dolly earlier on, so this is perfect redemption. It did cost his team a few runs but better later than never. Gayle c Abu Hider b Mosaddek Hossain 51(28) [4s-5 6s-4]

Mosaddek Hossain to Gayle, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

Mosaddek Hossain, right-arm off break, comes into the attack

More spin being introduced. Not a bad idea to bring an off-spinner to Gayle. Narine nearly had him early

6.6

Afridi to Mithun, FOUR, straight as an arrow! There is a man at long-off but Mithun has placed this one dead straight. No chance for that fielder as this blazes to the fence. Just a bit fuller from Mithun and it was lofted cleanly by the Riders' captain

6.5

Afridi to Mithun, no run, Mithun gives the charge a tad early and Mithun slows it down further, blocked gently to the off-side

6.4

Afridi to Mithun, no run, very full and around middle, leans forward and defends with a straight bat

Afridi to Gayle, SIX, clears the ropes again! The leg break this time and Gayle is expecting it. Sits deep in the crease and mows this one over long-on. Easy peasy! 50 for Gayle! He is on the rampage, again!

6.2

Afridi to Gayle, wide, the googly but the line is a bit wide outside off, left alone by Gayle. A touch too wide

6.1

Afridi to Mithun, 1 run, fuller ball on middle and leg, Mithun works it to deep square leg

5.6

Amir to Gayle, no run, tries to repeat the stroke by backing away, makes room and cuts but this time, cannot split the gap on the off-side

5.5

Amir to Gayle, FOUR, this one has been creamed! Pure timing from the big man. Short and a hint of width, that's enough for the in-form Gayle as he flays it through point

5.4

Amir to Gayle, FOUR, what a method to get a boundary! Gayle didn't want to play at this one and yet, finds the fence. Surely seems like this night today. He tried to withdraw the bat from the line of the ball but it ended up going off the bottom part of the blade. Beats short third man. Amir is livid!

5.3

Amir to Mithun, 1 run, edge goes through! There is a gully in place but this bisected him and the keeper. Shortish length again as Mithun looks to play with an angled bat. Got it finer than he would have liked as third man tidies up

5.2

Amir to Gayle, 1 run, tap-and-run stuff from Gayle, hangs back to the shortened length and places it into the gap at cover. Good running

5.1

Amir to Mithun, 1 run, short of a good length angling across the right-hander, Mithun dabs it to third man to get Gayle back on strike

Mohammad Amir [1.0-0-13-0] is back into the attack

4.6

Afridi to Gayle, no run, fullish around middle, gets across and defends it to the leg-side

4.5

Afridi to Gayle, byes, FOUR, streaky but they all count! Another full ball and Gayle wants to drive on the up. Gets a thickish edge that flies past the keeper to the third man fence

4.4

Afridi to Gayle, SIX, bludgeoned away! Gayle carries on in his merry ways. Floated up around off, a bit too full and he lifts it over extra cover. Raw power and it goes all the way. Ominous signs for the Dynamites here

4.3

Afridi to Gayle, no run, the flatter googly outside off, Gayle shapes for the cut but is beaten

4.2

Afridi to Mithun, 1 run, fired fuller on the pads, Mithun works it through square leg to get off the mark

Mohammad Mithun, right handed bat, comes to the crease

4.1

Afridi to Brendon McCullum, out Bowled!! Afridi strikes straightaway! Just what he was brought on for and he has removed McCullum. It is the indrifter from the Pakistani superstar, Baz doesn't pick it and goes for a slog across the line wildly. Misses completely and sees his off pole going for a walk, that skidded off the deck perhaps. That trademark celebration from Afridi starts as he is mobbed by his mates. The Dynamites needed this, especially after that last over. Brendon McCullum b Afridi 6(8) [4s-1]

Afridi to Brendon McCullum, THAT'S OUT!! Bowled!!

Shahid Afridi, right-arm leg break, comes into the attack

Time for a change then

3.6

Narine to Gayle, SIX, H-U-G-E! Gayle is in the house, folks! How much is that dropped catch going to cost the Dynamites? It's already bleeding them. Fuller around off, Gayle takes a couple of steps down and clobbers this over deep mid-wicket. Way into the stands

3.5

Narine to Gayle, FOUR, this has been clubbed! Flatter around middle, he is down on one knee for the sweep and gets it over backward square leg easily. He is turning it on here

3.4

Narine to Gayle, FOUR, not quite in control! Doesn't matter as he has found the gap. Fuller this time outside off, in the slot for Gayle to carve it over cover. There is a man in the deep but this is placed squarer. One bounce to the fence

3.3

Narine to Gayle, no run, fired fuller around off, watchful defence from Gayle

Amir to Brendon McCullum, no run, on a good length around off, adjusts with a tap to the off-side

2.5

Amir to Brendon McCullum, FOUR, clears the infield this time! Not that well-timed but the power makes up for it. McCullum gets width and the length is short as well, clubs it over point to find the fence

2.4

Amir to Brendon McCullum, no run, on a length outside off, McCullum cuts but cannot beat the infield on the off-side

Amir to Gayle, wide, spilled down the leg-side, pressure telling on Gayle perhaps as he tries to overcompensate

2.2

Amir to Gayle, SIX, that's gone all the way! What a blow from the big man. Full and wide, his feet don't move, they never do actually but those huge hands make up for it. Smacks it over deep extra cover for a flat maximum

Narine to Gayle, no run, drifting away from outside off, presses forward and blocks it well

1.5

Narine to Gayle, no run, straighter in line from Narine and it's nudged to the leg-side

1.4

Narine to Gayle, no run, dropped! That's a dolly! You cannot put down chances of a batsman like him, he'll make you pay. Shorter in length and Gayle goes for the pull but skies it to short third man where the fielder sizes it well but spills it eventually. Bad miss, if there ever was one

1.3

Narine to Gayle, FOUR, too short and punished! Cannot bowl there to this man. Short and wide, Gayle says thank you and blasts it through point

1.2

Narine to Gayle, no run, fuller and outside off, pushed off the front foot to cover

1.1

Narine to Gayle, no run, floated up outside off, Gayle goes for the drive but is beaten

Sunil Narine, right-arm off break, comes into the attack

0.6

Abu Hider to Brendon McCullum, no run, short of a length outside off, McCullum punches it off the back foot to cover-point

0.5

Abu Hider to Brendon McCullum, no run, on a length outside off, stays back and dabs it to point

0.4

Abu Hider to Gayle, 1 run, shorter again around off, Gayle opts to pull but mistimes it a bit to deep mid-wicket. Just a single

0.3

Abu Hider to Gayle, no run, good ball! Fullish outswinger outside off, inducing the drive and Gayle obliges with no footwork. Beaten on the outside edge

0.2

Abu Hider to Gayle, no run, short of a length outside off, cramped for room and flat-bats it towards mid-off

0.1

Abu Hider to Gayle, 2 runs, Riders are away! full and angling in on the pads, Gayle gets across and clips it through mid-wicket. Sweetly timed and looked a boundary but it's stopped brilliantly with a slide near the ropes. Saved a couple

Gayle and Brendon McCullum are at the crease. Gayle is on strike. Abu Hider will open the attack

17:00 local, 11:00 GMT, 16:30 IST: We had a cracking finish to the first game of today's double header in the Bangladesh Premier League. A tense last-over finish and it did provide a lot of thrills. Don't go too far away because the second game of the night promises to be another cracker. It's the Dynamites taking on the Riders in what should be another entertaining match. Both the sides boast of some powerhouse T20 performers, be it with the bat or the ball and expect the ensemble cast to bring the house down tonight. The Dynamites have had a good season so far and will hope to keep that going while the Riders despite the star cast haven't quite hit the ground running. They do however have a few games in hand and will want to make the most of the opportunities on offer. Hang around as the toss and other updates will come up shortly.
